Lu Xuening not only killed Sima Liuyue, but also learned all of the Sima Family’s business secrets.

It’s estimated that the Sima Family has already sent everyone to capture Lu Xuening.

The Old Madam made a sound of acknowledgment; she had confidence in Bei Tianyou’s abilities to handle things.

She looked at Nangong Yun again, her gaze carrying a hint of complex emotion.

After considering for a moment, she finally spoke, “Yun’er has responsibility in this matter too.

As punishment, you are not allowed to leave the house for three months.”

After speaking, she looked at Bei Qingyue, “You must keep a close watch on her.”

Bei Qingyue clearly felt the Old Madam’s meaningful gaze and her heart tightened.

She quickly nodded in agreement.

She knew that the Old Madam was displeased with her.

If she didn’t do something to make amends, the Old Madam might not support them in next year’s Clan Leader selection.

Glancing at Nangong Yun, Bei Qingyue’s eyes immediately filled with a cold chill.

This daughter is more likely to mess things up than achieve them.

She wasn’t so reckless and impulsive before.

Recently, who knows what kind of nonsense is filling her head!

Nangong Yun immediately lowered her head even more, not daring to breathe a word.

Even her mother is angry.

If she can’t regain her confidence, she will be all alone in next year’s Clan Leader selection!

The Old Madam stood up, and Lan hurried over to support her.

She did not look at Nangong Yun again and turned to walk towards the back room.

Bei Tianyou had already sent everyone out to search for Lu Xuening everywhere.

But the messages coming back intermittently all reported no sign of her.

In more than two hours, it’s likely that Lu Xuening has already left Bei Miao.

However, even if this woman returns to Jin City, if she cannot return to the Sima Family, she won’t be able to do any harm.

So many people are out to hunt her down, this time, even surviving will be difficult for her…

…

After Guisu was sent back to the Bei Family, he immediately followed Baili Xia to the Bi Luo Pavilion.

Nangong Xu personally cleaned up his wounds again and attached an anti-inflammatory IV.

He slept from the evening until past three in the afternoon the next day.

The kitchen kept preparing porridge and pig liver soup for him, said to be good for blood nourishment.

Fortunately, Guisu’s body is unusually strong, much more resilient than most people.

After a few IV drips and a long sleep, he felt significantly better.

Upon opening his eyes, he saw Baili Xia’s slightly pale face.

Since returning last night, she had been taking care of him.

Although Guisu was a bit groggy, he could still sense the familiar presence of the person beside him.

He owed her, owed her once, then again…

As he moved his arm, a heart-wrenching pain came from the wound.

He’s not made of iron; after all, he’s flesh and blood.

The movement pulled at the wound, and the pain made him frown.

Baili Xia woke up just in time to see his frowning face.

She was taken aback for a moment, then immediately smiled lightly, “I thought you didn’t feel pain.”

Remembering last night, without any painkillers or anesthesia, she forcibly removed the bullet from his arm.

At that time, even though he was drenched in cold sweat, his face white as paper, he didn’t even want to furrow his brow.

It turns out that even the strongest people are only strong on the surface.

Eventually, everyone has moments of vulnerability.

“In the future, if it hurts, you can say so. If you can’t endure it, just call out. There’s no need to suffer for the sake of pride.”

She stood up and stretched before looking down at him again.

“Do you understand, stubborn pride leads to self-inflicted suffering?”
